[Gwen is frankly not okay knowing that her past is on the verge of being broadcast to way too many people. So, she's dealing with it in the most responsible way she knows how.

By distracting herself on something else entirely.]

So I get that meat and showers (the kinds with water) aren't all that common here in the future. But, uh.

Why?

Never really stopped to think about it until now.

I heard someone say something about cruelty to animals? I guess I can get that.

Maybe they're big on water waste, too.

[fourstars]

As someone who's had to hunt animals for food before, I can see that being the reason.

[kingtyrantranger]

Honestly, if any of us were vegetarians, I keep thinking that it'd make sense for you and Videl to be it. Given the whole animal people thing on your world.

[He and Videl had discussed it a while back. The logic still escapes him, though.]

[fourstars]

Yeah, it's a little weird. But there's still a clear distinction between the humanoid animals and wild animals, so that helps.

Also, I mostly ate dinosaur tail, so.

[kingtyrantranger]

That's pretty metal

[deafleppard]

You did what.

[littlecousin]

The water thing is weird.

[Says the water-breather.]

[deafleppard]

Tell me about it. Have you seen the looks on their faces?

[littlecousin]

It's kinda rude. Like, guys, you realize some of us actually breathe water, right? It's no dirtier than air.

[deafleppard]

You ever had that conversation with them here? How'd that go?

[bachido]

I don't understand about the water, either. Doesn't anybody still like to swim?

[kingtyrantranger]

I think it's less swimming and more about using water to bathe?

[bachido]

How else would you bathe?

[He has a sonic shower in his quarters, but he honestly doesn't even know what the thing is FOR.]

[kingtyrantranger]

They have these, like. Sonic showers here? They're supposed to vibrate all the nasty gunk off of you or something. I don't know how they work, but I will admit that it works.

[deafleppard]

For the record, I don't have a problem with swimming.

[bachido]

I don't either. I like swimming.

[deafleppard]

How dare we be old-fashioned.

I date a vegetarian. You kind of get used to going without meat.

Doesn't really explain why though...unless vegetarians just kind of took over?

[deafleppard]

God, I hope not.

[notthatjason]

Not a fan? You'd think by the future they'd have really perfected the art of making it taste better though.

[deafleppard]

Vegetarians are fine and all, but not to the level where I want them to take over the universe.

i still dont get the shower thing???? did i miss the explanation about why water is sentient and we cant use it to clean ourselves or something???

[deafleppard]

I sure hope water didn't become self-aware. That would make going to the bathroom really awkward.

................ i hadnt even thought of that

The future is so weird.
